Lee Goldstein has been contributing to the writing scene for over a decade. With the bulk of his work focused in the poetic and philosophical spheres, he has seen publication in journals such as Mathematical Intelligencer, The Deronda Review, Transcendent Visions, The American Dissident, Exquisite Corpse, and Reflect. He published his first book of poetry, Syntaxis, in 2002.
Holding dual degrees in Mathematics and Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Lee approaches poetry with the mind of a mathematician and the heart of a poet. This, coupled with his work for NASA, has provided him with a wealth of experience and knowledge from which he draws his writing. Raised in Winnetka (near Chicago), he presently resides in Lawrence, Kansas.
Praise for On the Edge of a Mirror
When reading Lee's poems, don't be surprised if you find yourself needing a second, third, or even fourth read-through before you're satisfied. Through his intentional use of antiquated (or, more simply, forgotten) language, as well as his breadth of subject matter, Lee engages first your emotions, then your mind. Even those given to more sesquipedalian speech may find themselves reaching for a dictionary in order to grasp Lee's specific meaning. Yet if you can afford yourself a moment to pause in our mile-a-minute world to let your soul engage and ponder at the meaning of his words rather than their definition, you may find yourself caught up in a world greater than your mind, your experience, yourself.
-Kristen Robbs, Editor, Writer
It has been said that the true artist lives in the metaphysical. It has also been said that the mathematician has a reality that transcends the human mind. Mr. Goldstein, being both poet and mathematician, has produced a work that clearly embodies these two concepts. With amusement, he sometimes refers to it as an orthology of blemishes, but those who understand it will approach knowing what he knows and, perhaps, arrive a little closer to the unknown places that exist within us.
-Dolores Granger, Poet, Musician
